Aquarium Sea life are not to be missed – it is located in the heart of the city, tourists are invariably next to him. Opposite big Ben, near the London Eye and the Tate Modern".

And the building itself, which houses an aquarium that attracts attention. In a huge six-storey building on the South Bank of the Thames was occupied by the greater London Council. Building in the style of Edwardian Baroque, designed by Ralph Knott's, was built in 1922. Now here is not only the aquarium, which occupies three floors, but also hotels, shops and restaurants.

Fourteen areas are divided into the aquarium, are inhabitants of the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans, coral reefs, rivers and lakes. Large reservoir models underwater life of the Thames. Of course, visitors are always favorites among animals – here is the penguins, sharks and stingrays.

Colony of gentoo penguins (Genta) invariably attracts the attention of adults and children. The Gent – the fastest of waterfowl penguins and the third largest after the Imperial and Royal. Here, in the aquarium, they are touching, like all penguins, marching on the ice hummocks, collapsing into the water and swiftly moved there (clearly visible as they swim under water).

"Shark walk" allows visitors standing on a transparent platform, consider Cougar right under your feet. Children almost fall on the glass floor, transfixed, watching slide sixteen sharks (including tiger, brown and black). For a fee the aquarium offers the most daring viewers to be under water with the sharks – with mask, snorkel and under the supervision of experienced instructors.
